If you mean the 9500S atmos rears, their page says that they are compatible with Q800D, QS730D, S800D & S801D Soundbars, which I don't have. Coincidentally, they also get a $100 discount, bringing them down to $200.

Make sure you notice they aren't like you see in the picture. The speakers require speaker wire to go from each speaker to the module (black box about 8" x 2" x 5") and that module needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet. If I remember correctly it also didn't come with speaker wire.
After about a day, it started just randomly disconnecting from the sound bar, and so would have to pull the module out from wherever it's hidden (under my bed for me since I had, these two speakers mounted above my headboard in my room) and go through the reconnecting process, which requires using a paper clip to push in and reset the connection and some other steps. After a few days, I could no longer get it to reset it all, I called Samsung and had to go through all of those steps that I had tried 1000 times with them on the phone and finally they said that I could send them in for repair. So I pulled it all out and boxed it up and sent it in. When they came back I again had the same problems, where they worked fine and then just continue to disconnect automatically, which makes it not worth it. After going back-and-forth with customer service many times They finally said I could box up and send in the ones I had and they would send in a new pair to me. The second time around it was the exact same story. They are now boxed up and just sitting in my closet.
I paid about that for 9500s to go with my Samsung S800D. I was surprised how good they sound.

That model number is critical to your story. Specific ones have known issues.

The manual shows the power adapter being plugged into only the left speaker. Speaker wire connects the 2 speakers to each other but the left speaker connects wirelessly to the soundbar.

These rears just overall have very mediocre sound quality I really don't like these.
